Congratulating Azerbaijan on the grandiose victory, Tetsuya Hirose said he witnessed the government`s care and attention to the development of sports during his tenure in the country.

The victories are the results of Azerbaijani government`s care and attention to youth and sport. I congratulate Azerbaijani people, as well as Azerbaijanis living in Japan and various corners of the world on the triumph in the London Summer Olympic Games,” he added.
